You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Janice (janice.frazier@sbcglobal.net) for more information about this pet. Online Adoption Application › Loving and adorable, but very special needsBriar is outgoing, loving, playful and loves life. He purrs close to non-stop and head butts you for loving. But he had a perianal hernia and GI tract complications since he was rescued as a bottle baby. We are still looking for the ideal home for Briar. He loves all animals (2- and 4-legged) and will become a very adored family member. But because of his issues he does need a special diet and a home that is easily suited to cleaning (non-carpeted or specialized room for him) as he can't always get to the litter tray to poop. If you are looking for the best of the special needs cats, for sure it’s him and he is worth the effort. Note the posting updates are in chronological order to see more on him.   Original Posting as baby: Multiple attempts to help him with vets locally would work for a while, but finally we had to take him to UC Davis for another surgery. This created quite a large vet bill for the group, requires special food, and significant care. Any donation will help significantly, towards his bill, and his on-going expenses. Please help us fund this little guy - - never seen such a trooper in a little kitten, he won’t give up; help us make sure we don’t have to! THANKS for helping!   UPDATE Nov 5 2015: Working with the vets, we have come up with a mix of canned and kibble foods to help Briar's poop firm up some so he makes the litter tray more and has gained some weight in the last months. He had stalled at about 5 lbs, but with the mix of canned and kibble we've got him up to 6 lbs. Also we had a scare when he plugged up with a hairball in rectum - with work we got it out. But now he gets hairball treatment gel with every meal till shedding season is over, and we have trimmed his beautiful tail (sadly) so he will not ingest the long 4' tail hairs. Still he's a wonderful, happy, beautiful cat!   UPDATE Dec 14, 2015: He is gaining weight and is now up to 4 lbs at 6 months of age, yeah!   Update Jan 15, 2016: At Vet check he was 4.8 lbs (yeah!) and is now eating Royal Canin Mom and Babycat kibble, as well as canned IAMS intestinal plus food, both easy to digest, so his poop is a bit more consistent in timing and firmness.   Update March 6, 2016: After trying baby kibble with Briar and finding it was a very fine balance to keep him from getting too firm of poop, we have started him on Metamucil in his canned food at the recommendation of UC Davis. So far we find that is nicely helping to manage the really loose stool.   Update Sept 20, 2016: Briar is much better on Metamucil and gained some weight as he's able to not have the food just run through him! Though he still doesn't always make it to the litter tray it’s much firmer poop and easy to clean up. He's just a total love bug and he's worth the work!   Update August 2017: We have him on a diet of canned food mixed with Metamucil and it does a relatively good job of firming up his stool but sometimes he still can't make the litter box, so he does have his own linoleum-floored room. And he does get out to hang out in the house when we can watch him to clean up after him if needed. We did have a scare earlier this month when he had a bout of colitis but the Vet said that can hit any cat and figured it was an isolated instance and so far she is right!   Update January 2019: It’s a new year and Briar is already 4.5 yrs old, wow time flies! We have worked out a specific food for him mixed with Metamucil and he is doing much better about getting to the litter box now. Still sometimes he has accidents but we are pleased that it is somewhat better and if you are looking to help support him the food is Fancy feast (Gravy Lovers chicken feast in grilled chicken flavor gravy).   Update January 2020: Briar continues to do well and he is just such a great cat and, besides cleaning up if he has an accident, his food mixture is very easy to do. And we also give him a Vitamin B12 shot weekly to help with absorption of nutrients; he’s very good about it. And like any long-hair cat, he gets Petromalt during shedding seasons - which he loves.Update November 2020: Covid hasn't affected this sweetie!!!!! Briar is doing really well.  We have his diarrhea even more firmed up, fine tuning the mixture of canned with metamucil, but still he can't control always making it to the litter tray, so he does have a room all his own, and we take that little extra effort to prep his meals. He also gets Vitamin B injections to insure proper levels of Vitamin B, since with diarrhea that is always a concern of lack of that nutrient.  You can tell he is doing well though, such a handsome boy and very shiny, thick, healthy coat and right body index.  Briar's just such a loving cat it's quite amazing the great guy he is, so rewarding to care for him, he flips on his side and back when he sees you like heh aren't I handsome!  He'd be perfect in a non-carpeted home with easy to clean floors.February 2024 -Wow Brair is still with us and going strong.  Sadly no other forever home has come along, though we and he are all hoping it will!He is doing very well and last year we tested his Vit. B levels and found we could stop those weekly shots, so he is even more happy, as being poked weekly wasn't his favorite thing!  He is a very happy kitty in general, and being Maine Coon X - a total pleasure, as he so loves people and is a very uncomplaining cat.  He will be celebrating his 10th birthday this year in May - and we will be sure to give him his favorite temptation hairball treats in his treat ball, with a few extra so he can really enjoy the hunt!

Story
Gallina was pulled from the Hollister Shelter on 8/10/20 along with her brother and 19 other cats and kittens by a rescue group. She was about 6 months old. She was in a foster home for about a month before she was adopted. She was a healthy sweet kitten with no issues. All went well for 4 years until a little over a month ago. Her Mom had to go into hospital. Things went from bad to worse. Her Mom is now paralized and will not be returning home to her two wonderful girls. Gallina and Mila are looking for a new "forever" family. They are both initially shy but have started to come out with their foster Mom and get pets and sleep on the bed with her. They were in their previous home by themselves for over a month with various people coming in to feed them and clean their litter box. They need time to re-adjust. Is your family the ones who have been looking for 2 wonderful girls to become members of your family? Please note: Gallina should be adopted with her best friendGallina is shy and needs a quiet home.Indoor onlyPrevious medical records are available for Gallina.More information & application [ts=1737828110&src=aap]

Story
I'd love to tell you about Archie, my beautiful MaineCoon Siberian mix. I adopted him from Cat Town Oakland in 2022 when he was 2, and now at 4 years old, he's grown into such a special companion. Unfortunately, I'm moving in with my partner who has severe cat allergies, and we're starting a family, so I need to find Archie a loving new home. Archie is truly a good boy with the sweetest soul. Though slightly shy at first, he warms up quickly to show his loving, mischievous personality. He's a big sweetheart who loves giving and receiving affection. From experience, I know Archie would be happiest as the only pet in the household - he prefers not to share space with other cats or dogs. He thrives with lots of attention and would do best in a home where he can enjoy both indoor and outdoor time. He has so much love to give to the right family!

Story
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA:  Chinchilla (Chin Chin) and Shadow are a sweet bonded pair of lovely kitties that were rescued together from a large cat colony. They appear to be Maine Coon-mix cats.  Shadow is probably Chin Chin's mother.  They both have amazingly loud purrs!   Chin Chin and Shadow’s rescuer, Sara, provided us with this description of the girls: “Chin Chin is gray and white and was born in approximately May 2016.  She's a bit flighty and will run away at first, even from me, but comes back as soon as I start petting or brushing another cat.  She returns even faster when I'm dispensing treats.  She is very playful and chases balls and other toys around the room.  She even has a regular morning romp with another cat from the colony. Shadow was born in approximately May 2014.  She's very small for a Maine Coon mix (about 6 pounds) and has gorgeous all-black fur.  She loves to be brushed and petted and often meows loudly.  Her fur is curly, so regular brushing is needed to keep mats from forming.  She's even gotten used to stand-up brushing of her belly and will jump onto the cat condo so I can reach her more easily.  Once there, we sometimes touch noses.  She's the sweetest girl.  She's very docile and calm once she gets familiar with you and the household.  She doesn't even run when I vacuum.  She's also very good about eating oral flea medication with tuna or sardines. Both girls are going to be shy at first with new people but with patience and gentle talking, treats and eventually brushing, they'll come around. Both of them have purrs that practically shake the house.  I can hear Chin Chin purring from another room, and she'll start even before I touch her.  Shadow starts drooling when she's purring.  It's so cute! There's no way of knowing for sure, but I believe they are mother and daughter.  They are definitely a bonded pair.   Both are in good health.  I give Shadow daily hairball gel and Chin Chin a powdered probiotic in her food.  They are good about using the litter box and grooming themselves.  Chin Chin and Shadow have both been spayed and will be up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption.  They are good with other cats.  They might be okay with older, respectful children, or with a very calm and cat-friendly dog." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a Courtesy Post, and Chin Chin & Shadow are living in a private foster home with their rescuer Sara in Hercules, California. If you would like more information, please contact Sara at s_garetz@yahoo.com. Please Note: These cats have not yet been tested for FIV/FeLV, to our knowledge. Potential adopters should confirm the cats’ status with their rescuer and should consult with their veterinarian for recommendations regarding testing.January 11, 2025, 4:38 am

Hello were are two orange tabbies that got rescued from the side of the road a day before beetlejuice 2 came out we were both hanging out in a tree meowing to anyone that would listen and got rescued by some kind humans we need a home as they can not have us stay permanetly we have the usual orange cat energy Goose is a very calm and curious cat that loves to nuzzle and is soft spoken when it times for food. Beetlejuice lives up to the name I scream and meow throughout the halls and love to climb for cat treats. We are hoping we can find a home that can fit both cats as they are brothers and would hate to see them be seperated

Story
We adopted Arwen as a kitten from the local rescue shelter during 2020. She will turn five in April 2025. She has been an indoor cat her entire life. She opens up to people after she feels comfortable with them. She has not been exposed to young children or teenagers. She hid the one time she was exposed to a dog. She lived with another kitten during 2020 but has not experienced another cat since. Arwen likes to choose when she wants attention. She likes sitting on laps and sleeping on top of you (on top of the covers) at night. She loves chasing after string on the end of a stick and laser pointers. She has a kitty sock that she pounces on. Wadded up paper balls serve as kitty soccer balls for her. Arwen is not good about drinking from a bowl, but prefers to drink from a running water source. Arwen loves watching out the windows, especially at squirrels and birds. She enjoys cat TV on YouTube. She is a fairly quiet cat, but will meow when she wants attention, food or water.

Story
He wandered on our door step at about six weeks old so we took him in. His birth date is estimated to be April 27th so he is a year and a half. I have to move and it's impossible to find a place reasonably priced and accepting of pets so I have to find a new home for him. He is a pretty chill cat, has his bursts of energy but not too much to handle. When he is bored and would like attention/to play he will definitely make it known. He would be great with new owners and children, he has never hissed, he has never harmed me or anyone in the house intentionally (watching them make biscuits is cute until they do it on your body and you're wearing thin clothes), all this to say he is very low on the irritability spectrum. A home with a good amount of space he can roam around is all I can ask for, for him.
